I’m going to take a look at some of the Inside The Waistband IWB Holsters I’ve used over the past few years for concealed carry and cover some the many questions people who are looking to start carrying usually ask me.
Trinity Force sent me another optic to take a look at. This is their 1-4x28mm scope with a small-cross reticle.
I recently realized that the keys for my handcuffs had been lost or misplaced in one of my moves years back and decided to get a new key so I wouldn’t have to keep picking them with a paperclip.
A quick look on Amazon brought me to the Schrade Professionals Handcuff Key (SCKEY).
We first took a look at the Trinity Force P4 Sniper optic back in July, 2014. While we liked it, especially for the price, there were a few things that could use some improvement.
Trinity Force sent us out an updated optic (with a different reticle) that has few updates. I wish this optic had the same reticle, but, part of the improvement is the new reticle has cleaner illumination… More on that shortly.

I’ve had a American Security (AMSEC) safe for a while now, and have had nothing really bad to say about it… It’s a nice safe, and it seems to work well. I haven’t had any burglary attempts or a house fire to really test it out, and I hope I never have to find out how well it really works.
I chose to get my safe with the ESL5 Electronic Lock Keypad, for me, I like the easy and quick access of electronic locks and I’m just a fan of electronic things in general.
But, recently I had some issues with the ESL5 keypad…

Cleaning your guns… Some people clean their guns every time they use them, others don’t know what cleaning their guns means. There is a lot of gray area in between those two extremes, but think about where you fall on the scale.
I try to clean my guns after every use; I like my guns to be clean. It’s how I was taught to take care of my guns, and it’s how I still take care of my guns. Now, that doesn’t mean I take them completely apart and bust out my tooth brush and polish every single part, but I run a swab or 3 down the barrel, wipe down the major dirty parts, get as much grime, brass and lead fouling off of the gun as possible and then lubricate all of the major friction points.
Recently, I was introduced to Breakthrough® clean, a “Military Grade” cleaning solvent.

Have you ever wanted to mount a red-dot optic on your pistol but didn’t want to send your slide in to be milled? Well, now you can attach a red-dot with a 1913 rail mount to most pistols with a front attachment rail (a 1913 style front rail or similar), such as most Glock models, various Springfield XD models, many Smith & Wesson M&P models, as well as many others with the UM Tactical, UM3 sight mount.
I recently had the pleasure of attending a factory tour and product demo for Inter Ordnance (IO), located in Palm Bay, Florida.
If you haven’t heard of Inter Ordnance, or IO Inc., they manufacture various models of AK-47s, AR-15s, a couple variations of 1911s and are working on more… Many of their AR/AK variations are 100% American made, with some having a combination of Domestic and Imported parts (mostly imported furniture).
